    It's no longer "realignment". It's here. It is now "alignment". Stop worrying about it and move forward.
    Agree, if you walk through the arena, it appears as if UND is still the Fighting Sioux. 1,000's Fighting Sioux Jersey's. #rolltribe

      That's my point. To spell it out a bit more clearly, my hypothesis is that old WCHA was a better conference than the new NCHC is. Therefore, as the new conference isn't as good, the recruiting at these schools will suffer. Perhaps I am wrong. It is testable though. We must wait until the schools all have rosters recruited to play in the NCHC against NCHC teams, not in the WCHA against schools like Minnesota and Wisconsin.

        They've lost their identity and mystique because they are no longer called "The Fighting Sioux"?

                Just saw this thread.

                UND hockey has already lost a bit of it's luster. Too bad really. We talk a lot of college hockey at the local rink and there's hardly a mention of UND. I used to follow them closely, even went to the arena a couple of times. Now, I couldn't tell you who they play, what their record is, or two players on their roster. Oh well.

                  Could that be because you are a fan of a team in a different conference now? I know you think you and your rodent buddies are important but rest assured, NoDak's program will be just fine without you.

                    UND's status in the hockey universe began to erode when Happy began his relentless attacks about "overage Canadians" and a treeless landscape. You can laugh all you want, but once UND stops kicking other teams' azzes, those sick jokes begin to gain purchase with all those slow-witted people in places like St. Cloud, Mpls, and Madison. Throw in consistently bad officiating and you have a potentially ugly situation. Pretty soon UND will be languishing in mediocrity along with schools with only 4 or 5 banners. Hak himself can throw me in the Red if that ever happens.

                      I think taking a look at his glass pokes holes in that argument. It's all relative anyways so I'm not sure how much more excited one can be. So I think you're hoping to get that hug and hope some of that positive spin rubs off on you.

                        As a WMU fan I have not heard anything about administration being unhappy with the travel in the NCHC. They knew what they were getting into when they chose to hope to be asked to join. At least we don't have to go to Alaska anymore! (even though we still did for some reason)

                          Even during a year when UND's talent is lacking and they aren't ranked they bring in more than 10k fans per game which is more than I can say for UMTC. The "we talk a lot of college hockey at the local rink" guys that aren't mentioning UND are about as useful as a pimple on my hind quarters. Just keep "Oooh yeah there" and "Jeez" 'n your way through the season and the rest of us will actually attend our respective team's games.

                            I feel like this will cause the UND hockey program to fold based on how much I hear about it.

                              In all fairness, our arena only has a capacity of 10,000. And when you have the nation's richest TV coverage, it's splitting hairs when talking about attendance. There is good reason UMN leads the NCAA in revenue annually, regardless of attendance.
